i need to move this towel rack to the left so it aligns with the window but do not want to see 4 ugly drill holes.

I shall try Shelley's aqua need it.

Could be my saviour from my very upset partner for installing it in the wrong place 😂

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @davey0444. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for jumping into the discussion.

I would try to avoid moving the rail at all costs. If the rail position is just an aesthetic choice, I would be very hesitant to move it. Trying to cover holes in tiles is only something that should be considered if there is no other option, like if you have to replace an old rail and there is nothing on the market that will align with its holes. Your repair will be noticeable and even more so due to having tiles that are not a solid colour. If you compare the annoyance of a slightly miss-installed rail to seeing quite obvious repaired holes in tiles, I'd go for the misplaced rail any day of the week.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I am going to try this to fix the chips in  my terracotta coloured floor tiles. 
What type of paint would I use and what’s the best way to match it?

Hi @Citygal,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is great to have you with us.

Please note that this method is a bit of a last resort, so if it is possible, the best fix is to replace the tile if you have a spare. 

With this being said, it might be a bit tricky to get a close match as you are unable to scan a tile with the spectrophotometer for an accurate colour match.

The best advice I can give is to head in-store to the paint section to grab the 5 closest colour cards that you can find and take them home to compare them with the tile. 

Once you've selected your colour, you can have the Paint Desk team member mix a small sample pot of your chosen colour. 

You should however note that the sample pots are water-based paint. If you wanted to get a more durable paint such as enamel or oil-based paints, you would need to purchase a larger tin of paint.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Is it possible to mix colour with the putty?

Hi @Citygal,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community.

The technical specifications for Selleys Knead It do not say it can be tinted, they do however explicitly state that it can be painted. 

It would be much easier to colour match using paint anyway as you don't need to consider the pigment of the putty. 

Let me know if you have any further questions.
